Rady School of Management
Robert S. Sullivan, Ph.D., Dean
UCSD’s School of Management was established in 2001 and was named
the Rady School of Management in January 2004. It matriculated its first
M.B.A. degree students in fall 2004 into the FlexMBA, a program for executives
and working professioanls, and will admit full time M.B.A. students in
the fall of 2005. The school is pioneering the education of tomorrow’s
business leaders through an innovative curriculum led by internationally
recognized faculty. Seeking to rapidly obtain top-tier status in its first
five years, the school will leverage UCSD’s strengths as a preeminent
research institution, especially its outstanding programs in science, engineering,
medicine, economics, and international relations.
Currently located in
Pepper Canyon Hall on the UCSD campus in La Jolla, the Rady
School
of Management has broken ground on a new facility, which will be located north
of Eleanor Roosevelt College. Occupancy is planned for fall 2006.
At steady state,
targeted for 2011–12, the school will enroll 600 full-time
students, 510 part-time students; 50 Ph.D. students; and 150 undergraduates.
Unlike conventional M.B.A. programs, Rady’s program targets students from
diverse cultural backgrounds who have an understanding and appreciation of science
and technology.
Degree Programs
The school offers the FlexMBA, an M.B.A. degree program specifically
designed for working professionals, and a full-time M.B.A. program.
The school’s
M.B.A. programs emphasize the business issues faced by innovation-driven
organizations, with a particular interest in the science- and technology-driven
innovation and change. They provide a thorough grounding in the fundamentals
of business and management in a global environment and build on this with a
distinctive curriculum focused on the implications of management principles
and business realities for organizations driven by science, technology,
and innovation.

- knowledge of business fundamentals and their
application to real-world situations

making rigorous decisions

skills essential to collaborating with and managing people effectively

cutting-edge scientific and technological developments for business and to
move ideas from development to the marketplace
